G.Khan | 13 years ago | Reply This is a good effort appreciate both . However, they can do only ths much. Actually issue remains the same. Unless Killing of kashmiri Muslims doesn't stop , compensation paid, and a permanent solution is found, there is going to be no peace. Arguing otherwise is living in the Paradise of the fools. Question one must ask , had there been peace in the last 63 years in Kashmir? Or situation worsened? If it worsened then next 63 years, if no solution found, will be no different.
